Default Stock Front Axle Questions

I know that it is said that there is no such thing as a dumb question but here is my dumb question. Will the internals for the factory D30 front fit and work inside the factory D44 housing? I bent the stock D30 and right now cannot afford the cash to plop on my ProRock 44 that I want and am trying to find a factory front axle or at least the axle housing to swap in until that time. Maybe attempt to do a truss to prevent bending a second housing. Any thoughts, input, knowledge or where-a-bouts of said parts is greatly appreciated.

no, the internals will not work - only the knuckles and brakes.
